Today I got my deals from Denver Bargains in the King Soopers and Safeway categories. I didn't like that every time you copy and paste something from their site to make your grocery list it gives you this long warning about using their content (which I had to delete from my grocery list each time).

Deals lately...

I hit a few garage sales this morning:
1 Eddie Bauer Jeans
1 Gap khaki pants
1 Gap khaki shorts
1 Anne Taylor Loft shorts
1 Gap (part cashmere) sweater
1 flowy cover shirt (white)
1 cute top (red)
1 Gap shirt for Jay
1 Sandra Boynton book for Jay
= $10 total
(Jay got a bunch of clothes last week at garage sales- Thanks Kristie!)
Next I went to Walgreens:

Pampers Diapers 2/$18
Pampers Wipes $2.99
Used 2 $1.50 MC for diapers
used 1 .50 mc for wipes
used $2 Walgreens coupon off Pampers from the baby care book (took $4 off)
Got $3 RR (and $5 off my next pampers purchase (RR) because I spent over $20 on Pampers products)
= $4 each for the diapers
Then I did the traction again with 2 more Pampers and used the $5 RRMC instead of one of the $1.50 MC and got them for = $2.25 each for the diapers
Carefree pantyliner .99= used MC = free
Tylenol Precise $7.99, $5.00 MC, $3.00 Walgreens coupon (from May book)= free

3 Baby food boxes $3.98 each (clearance) for 6 2pks =12 containers for under $4 each

And I went to Target: (not my best Target deal)

The Gerber Graduate snacks are because I want Jay to try them, the sippy cups are because no other sippy cup is working for him right now, and the baby food in the middle is because they are the MOST CONVENIENT baby food out there. I can even feed him in his car seat if I would need to. They also are great for keeping in the diaper bag.
Aquafresh training toothpaste $2.49, used $1 mc, $1 Target coupon =.49 (it was supposed to be $1.99 so it would have been free, but since I plan on using it I thought I could pay .49:)
Carefree .99, used 2 Target coupons for .01 each, and 1 mc for .99 = all for free
Clear Eyes $2.69 (price cut), $1 mc, =$1.69 each (this is John's favorite and I never have coupons for it)

I still want to try and hit the King Soopers deals sometime this week, but Jay came with me for all this shopping today because John had to work so I couldn't do that to him.
On another note, here are all the toys Jay got for free at garage sales this morning because he was so smiley and cute:

Back at it

So after a very long break from "super couponing" as I will call it, I am back looking for deals again. Thanks to my friend Kristie for re-inspiring me (and for DVRing "extreme couponing" to get me motivated again).
This time I have set some rules for myself:
-Look for products you love and find them cheaper than normal
-Don't go for every free deal just because you can
-Buy stuff that you can use, or if you know someone else who can use it
-Don't pay money for products you won't use
Within these rules in mind, I will probably spend more than before, but I will actually use most of the stuff I buy too:)
Here is my "deal" trip to Walgreen's from Sunday.

I found most of my deals at Hip2Save.
Individual candy: .80 each, used Buy 2 get 1 free coupons, and used .39 each in-add coupon afterwords. =.13 each

Dial soap .50 per 2 pk on clearance. Used for filler items.

He loves coupons too!

Baby Jay loves coupons too- he had a blast playing with all the ones I didn't want!
I had a trip all planned out with coupons and match ups, but it would require me to go to 3 different stores. When I found out I was taking Jay with me it turned in to a one-stop Walmart shopping trip. I did a bit of price matching and used some coupons (which did not get doubled because it is Walmart) and saved a bit of money...but at least I didn't have to transfer in and out of car seats 6 times:)
I cut out a bunch of coupons this week and hope to score some deals this weekend.

Not gone, but on permanant leave from couponing...

..because of this little bundle of joy that is in our lives. He has been very crabby and I haven't even been tempted to go "couponing" because of my lack of sleep:)

Keep getting all the deals! I hope to re-join the party sometime in the next couple months:)
